(405), the north gate is blocked
~
Bai Tao didn't dare to ask for credit, and said softly with a slight lower eyebrow: "It is the duty of a servant to serve the head of the family." If you need something, you will do your best. ”
When Mo Ye heard this, he couldn't help but think of some things that Wang Zhe had explained before coming here.
The old master of the Song family seems to have been too concerned about business when he was young, so he neglected some of his own housework. After the family business grows bigger, people are like soaking in business all day long, and they can't find time to take care of these things.
And this old man Song is a temperament who refuses to make a living, so it is delayed again and again, and people who are nearly forty years old, the wife of the main room in the family is still missing, and the concubine room is even more useless.
The month before, Master Song unfortunately died suddenly during a business trip, and the property under his name had no hope, so he could only transfer it to his only nephew Ruan Luo according to the law.
Ruan Luo had just taken over Master Song's industry, and the formalities had not yet been completely completed, Bai Tao began to call him the head of the family at this time, although this is a title that will inevitably become in the future, but at this time, it still seems a little inappropriate.
And Mo Ye had already expected that this Ruan Gongzi didn't seem to be used to some masters and servants.
Sure enough, Ruan Luo was called like this by Bai Tao all the way, and at this time he couldn't help it, so he said gently: "Bai Tao, in the future, you will be the same as Mo Ye, just call me Brother Ruan." ”
Mo Ye suddenly had a thought in his heart: Maybe until Ruan Luo completely inherits Master Song's estate in the future, he may not be used to using the title of 'head of the family'.
As soon as Ruan Luo's words fell, Bai Tao's head, which had been hanging slightly since just now, suddenly raised a point, and subconsciously shook his head, "No......"
She had just said a word when Ruan Luo suddenly sneezed heavily, interrupting her later words.
Ruan Luo rubbed his nose, a little childish.
"I'd better stay somewhere else for a while." His gaze swept over the uncorked bottle of medicated oil on the table. He shook his head, his voice a little hazy, wondering if it was because of that sneeze.
Picking up the steps, when he just walked to the door, he turned around again and told the two girls in the house: "Bai Tao will not do anything these days, and have a good rest." In addition, if Mo Ye doesn't understand anything, he can ask Bai Tao for advice, or he can use the time of the past few days to get familiar with it. ”
Mo Ye understood the meaning of Ruan Luo's words. Hearing this, he nodded seriously, then turned his head and said to Bai Tao: "Sister Bai Tao, little sister has just arrived." There are many places where I am not sensible, and I ask Sister Bai to teach me more in the future. ”
Bai Tao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and smiled: "Okay, you and I are sisters and will help each other in the future." Just to serve a good family... Belch... Brother Ruan......"
As soon as she said this, she subconsciously looked at Ruan Luo, but found that the person who was standing at the door and turned around to look at it had disappeared without a trace.
Bai Tao's heart quickly slipped through a trace of loss, but when she turned her face back to meet Mo Ye's pure and flawless smile, she hesitated in her heart. Finally, he smiled.
……
Although Wang Zhe's original idea was to find a place to hide from the anger of Master Bu near the explosion, Bu Yu had just driven back to the racetrack when a few small soldiers came to answer him. Look at the guys these creeps brought with them when they arrived. The decisive thing is to help Bu Yu completely escape from the Bailubo horse training farm - so as to completely get rid of the possibility of being interrogated by Master Bu.
The reason why the cooperation of those little soldiers is so fast and timely is first of all because in recent days, Bu Yu has sneaked to the horse training field to have a good time, and the little soldiers played with the second young master of the Bu family, and also accompanied him to avoid the sudden spot check of Master Bu. The art of dodging has long been practiced and can be used at your fingertips.
Another element that must be mentioned is because if Bu Er Shao is really caught by Master Bu. They really can't afford to sit together. Once Master Bu comes back, immediately send Bu Er Shao to run away, which is a very resonant choice for the guards of the horse training farm.
When the two horses in heat ran and frolicked around the grounds of the horse training farm, they quickly attracted the attention of the guards. But because the reason is unknown, and the attitude of the horse farm guards towards this situation is mostly the same as that of Bu Yu, no one cares about it at first.
However, at the moment when Master Bu returned, the guards who were watching the two horses from a distance immediately became nervous and decisively pulled them out of a piece of reeds with a strong hand.
Soon, the little soldier who assigned the task and was responsible for finding Bu Yu came back with a group of three people to get the horse, and then the little soldier was very cooperative with the rope. Tie the rope that the car had been cut off before, and the three of them got into Yang Chen's carriage and slipped out of the horse training farm as if flying - there are two entrances and exits in the vast horse training field, as long as the guards cooperate carefully, it is not difficult for Bu Yu and his party to avoid the sight of Master Bu.
After leaving the horse training ground, the carriage sped on the road for a while, and did not slow down until it reached the gate of Kyoto Kitajo.
At this time, the sun had set in the western mountains, and the red clouds that were still burning in the sky just now were gradually dimming, and it seemed that it was almost time to close the city gate, but in the open space in front of the north gate of the capital, there were still many people who were ready to enter the city.
Perhaps because this year's spring shipping is about to begin, a large number of goods have been transported to Kyoto every day in recent days, and the total amount of materials has significantly exceeded the daily consumption of this metropolis. The closer we get to the customary start of sea freight in previous years, the more congested this logistics situation becomes. Obviously, most of the goods imported into Kyoto should be prepared for sea trade.
In this period close to the city gate, the north gate of the capital ushered in the last group of caravans to enter the city today. Looking at the ultra-long convoy in front of him, Bu Yu, who was sitting at the front of the carriage, sighed and said, "It's really a coincidence today, I finally escaped from the racecourse, but I ran into a blockage at the city gate. ”
Wang Zhe, who was looking at the caravan, retracted his gaze, smiled faintly, and said: "Originally, I just wanted to find Master Bu to see if there were any good horses in the racecourse, and I didn't want him to be there, but when he came back, I was entangled by you again, so I was embarrassed to see him, so I left like this." I haven't even been annoyed that what was supposed to be a very simple walk was so tortuous, what are you complaining about? ”
"Because I saw you coming, I didn't run half a lap, so I gave up my favorite and rare hobby, and drove a horse to meet you, can I say that it is not interesting for you as a friend?" Bu Yu was a little unconvinced, and said stiffly: "Besides, it was you who proposed to have dinner later, and I took you back to the camp before I met my father head-on, and I ran so hurriedly to ......."
"Stop, stop...... Let's not talk about that for now. Wang Zhe hurriedly waved his hand to stop Bu Yu's tirade, and then sighed and said: "Let's think about how to enter the city quickly, according to the current arrangement, when we enter the city, I'm afraid we can catch the curfew!" ”
The city gate closed nearly two hours earlier than the curfew in the inner city, so Wang Zhe's verbal statement was obviously a bit exaggerated. However, looking at the situation in front of them, they were at the bottom of the line, and even if they could find a restaurant for a fresh and hot dinner when they entered the city, it would probably be nearly an hour later.
And the reason why they are stuck here is mainly because they are in a carriage on this trip.
The restrictions on horses in the inner city of Kyoto are relatively strict, so when entering the city, not only those with sharp weapons must separate the door from the common people, but those with vehicles will probably also need to take another caravan passage.
At this time, Yang Chen's carriage was unfortunate to be at the tail of that caravan, maybe if they had arrived at the north gate earlier, they could have entered the city one step ahead of the caravan, but they were just one step late, and they were behind the line. Seeing that this caravan seems to have just begun to enter the city, this is a bit of a problem.
If you can get on the same level with the caravan, as the car of the guests in the caravan, you may be able to enter the city ahead of the caravan, which may be a feasible way to enter the city in advance. However, Bu Yu, who had just popped up this thought in his mind, glanced at Wang Zhe, and was slightly shaken by his head to extinguish this idea.
Wang Zhe was the first to think of this method, so he began to look at the same standard wagons as soon as the carriage was attached to the tail of the caravan. And from the moment he retracted his gaze and sighed just now, he had already snuffed out this thought, much earlier than Bu Yu.
In Wang Zhe's mental reserve, these carriages are very unfamiliar. Although Wang Zhe was also surprised by this, he knew a lot about such a big caravan, and he shouldn't be impressed. But after repeated observations, he could only admit with a little regret that he really didn't know where these carriages came from.
Seeing that the two people in the car who were still arguing just now were silent at this moment, only a slight exchange in their eyes remained, Yang Chen didn't know what to think. He himself didn't mind waiting, and even if he couldn't go back to-day, spending the night in the middle of nowhere would be a common occurrence for him - of course, a very bad estimate.
He was just a little worried that the two sons on the side would not be in a hurry, so he was also a little anxious.
After this day of getting along, the other two - especially Wang Zhe - have been able to affect Yang Chen in the slightest bit in some of their feelings.
Yang Chen glanced at the two teams of people entering the city at the gate of the city, and found that before walking through the gate of the civilians, the team quickly shrank a lot, so he said: "It's better for the two of you to go through the door first, it seems that I won't have business today, you can wait slowly in the car." ”
I don't know if it was for contemplation or in a daze, this time it was Bu Yu who came back to his senses first, but his attention was not on whether Yang Chen's proposal was feasible or not, but asked in surprise: "You are not the one hired by Wang Zhe's family...... Hey? ”
Bu Yu, who has a rough heart, has always regarded Yang Chen as a person, and when he thinks of this person, he feels familiar and not deeply impressed, because most of his understanding of this person comes from Wang Zhe's verbal mentions.
It was only at this time that Bu Yu realized that he had been making mistakes when judging someone with habitual thinking.
And Bu Yu suddenly had this question, and finally hesitated, which made Yang Chen stunned.
